  1. I find them no better or no worse than other types and I’ve owned most types, pures and crosses. Like getting any type, you must do your homework with the breeding, parents , etc. I obviously wouldn’t get one just for, say, ferreting or lamping rabbits. They will do that but there’s better types for the job. I mainly run hares and roe these days and the odd fox, and the deer crosses will do that as well as anything else. Its just a personal choice, I like them as they are easy to live with, and do what I want of them. Ive a soft spot for whippets, beddy’s, Salukis and
  2. Yes, same greyhound dam, but the sire is pure deerhound son of my bitches sire. So very closely related. Cheers.
  3. Of topic, but if anyone likes a bit of “leg” on their dogs, have a look at this pup; 8 month old first cross deer/grey . Cheers.
  4. A pup of Typps from some years back; Not a collie cross, it was 1/4 GSD X 3/4 greyhound. Cheers.
  5. A pal I hunted with in Australia; A Samba with a mixed pack of bloodhounds and beagles. Cheers.
  6. Daytime roebuck with the little beddy type; Shitty head gear on it but a decent size buck. Cheers.
  7. Was 71 a couple of weeks ago and had my yearly medical yesterday; all fine. Got my dental check tomorrow, still got all my teeth except one that got snapped, not expecting any problems. Ive got a kind of “lived in face” and bald as a coot, so I’d just be wasting money on any attempts at beautification ! LOL ! Cheers.
  8. Were you getting a “trout pout” Mac ? Cheers.
  9. You googled “hors de combat” , didn’t you ? LOL ! Cheers.
  10. There’s times you crack me up, Wilfy lad ! LOL ! Cheers.
  11. While we’re on about lamping Joe, remember these batteries I got off you about 15 years ago ? Well, with sensible rotation and trickle charging, I’m still using one of them ! None of that fancy Lithium Ion here, old school, me ! (Or some may say tight f****r PMSL). Cheers.
  12. I can’t remember, it’s from an old iPad that doesn’t seem to show the details like a more modern iPhone. I had Delta with me and I got her in ‘06 and she was two or three, so it was probably about ‘09. Cheers.
  13. Alan used to be on here; shame he isn’t now, his input would have been interesting. His dad raced non-ped whippets at the same tracks as me back a long time ago; I wonder if it influenced Alan’s “need for speed” in a coursing dog ? Who knows, just a tenuous but interesting connection between whippets and coursing dogs. Cheers.
  14. One of the funniest shows I’ve ever been to ! Fred West judging, He wouldn’t entertain a marked up bull cross or a brindle lurcher. God knows what he thought of that half cross of yours that I showed ! LOL ! Cheers.
  15. Me and Chipper embarrassing the old lad in his retirement ! Cheers.
  16. Old deer x and a pair of coursing bred pups. Five off the first field in a few minutes, it was slaughter so went home. At least the pups saw a bit. Cheers.
  17. No mate, I got beat in the quarter final one year and the semi final next year. Bruce won the comp both times it was run. I had Bruce in my kennel a few times and he was class day and night . Cheers.
  18. Bruce was got from the Cat & Dog Shelter at 6 weeks old; sire unknown, mother a greyhound. Mark walked in the final when he was getting beat 11-7. I don’t blame his dog, Kat was a handy bitch. Tomo was judging. Delta was; sire first cross beddy/grey; dam whippet/grey x Deer/grey. Only 23” but a decent bitch ; Cheers.
  19. Delta and Bruce the rescue dog in the lamping competition; Bruce beat Delta 19-17 and went on to win the competition. Cheers.
  20. Old Lima showing the pup the ropes; Cheers.
  21. Back on topic, lamping. The old deer cross at about ten years old; Even mC’s dogs wouldn’t catch the fabled six legged Northumbrian hare ! Cheers.
  22. I’m getting old Joe and the challenge just isn’t there anymore. As far as young mC is concerned , he couldn’t hold a candle to the likes of Mark and Whin when it comes to wind ups, but he is a trier ! LOL ! Cheers.
  23. You said saluki would add speed to a WHIPPET NON PED ! Go back and read what you said ! Dont be moving the goal posts. Just admit what you said, it’s there for everyone to see, I’ll be generous and maybe you made a mistake, but don’t take me for a fool or I’ll stop your pocket money and put you on the naughty step ! LOL ! Cheers.
  24. 15-20 years ago on here I would have been at this ,(pardon the pun) like a dog with a bone, but these days , age and experience has taught me when it’s time to bow out gracefully ! Cheers.
